    Definitely one on our list to fly. Being located in Miami Etihad does not fly from here so makes it a bit more difficult... I have always felt Etihad has the prettiest livery of any airline currently in service…

    The aircraft landing is an Airbus 330 (CEO) with the livery of EUROWINGS. It also has a Discovery logo but the tail livery is definitely Eurowings.

    Arriving into Abu Dubai ... I'm not sure if it's the window or the actual air quality, but it reminds me of the color of how a film becomes after some time in a filmcan. Home movies were a thing back in the day ... 😊. Happy trails, dear LTE!

    Beautifully captured trip report. Very calming understated colour palette for business class, no bling thankfully. The only negative is the business suite is not so private but for a regional business class, still very good. Catering looked excellent.

    I will need to catch up on your Maldives reviews as there are a couple of them that I have not watched yet. I recall that BA used to have rear facing seats in it's business class. I was not impressed. A number of these rear facing single seats also looked like they had no window which I find disappointing. For some reason I found the decor of the cabin rather plain and not to my taste. On the other hand, the food looked excellent. Your next flight looks more like it. 👍

    OK so I’ve loved your videos since I saw a Casey Neistat one that the UA-cam algorithm prompted me to subscribe to your (AWESOME) channel. My question is, when did you start filming with an iPhone and why? Are you sponsored? No worries either way, just curious. Keep up the great work! 👍🏽👍🏽

    Just flew Delta One from Cape Town to Atlanta and I can tell you I hate the service the FA's provide. I feel guilty for even looking at them. I felt guilty for going up to the snack basket they put out that had one banana, one bottle of water etc. You try to have a conversation with them and they are too busy etc. Delta and United need to up their game big time.

    Why can't the USA have this type of luxury national airlines? They make our airlines look like overpriced discount carriers. Other than a few American homebuilders. The world does luxury better than we do on almost everything.

    • @petewatson9866
      @petewatson9866 2 місяці тому +1

      Hi, As for the business travel question most Americans don’t travel outside American airspace and this gives American airline companies a monopoly over how Americans travel. Does not matter what country you fly, internal flights are always cheaper and less comfortable. Can’t comment about the rest of your question though

    • @brucecanmore3788
      @brucecanmore3788 Місяць тому

      Have a look at their (ADQ) ownership structure. It is not a public corporation. If more Americans bought a higher quality class of service, more of that product would exist in a market economy. Profit drives the American airlines.

      No, his videos are filmed pretty far in advance (which is why we had plenty to watch during 2020, so good). For example, the flight over to the Maldives from Switzerland was posted two months ago and the people were wearing heavy coats.

      Your posting shows me that you have 0 knowledge about planes. Boeing aircrafts are as safe as can be. You are one of those guys reading headlines in a newspaper and then you build up your mind altough you know nothing at all. An amateur who thinks to have an opinion about something he doesn't know anything.
